Holy run on sentence, Batman.

I don't really see anything in that picture that hasn't been common knowledge for awhile. It's not like he's showing off games still in development or development screens. For all we know, it could just be a photoshop piece. It'd be cool to have a 360 now, but I can play Halo 2 on my current XBOX.

I'm not saying it proves anything, but for the sheep with plastic card it is enough to garner some attention when it comes down to choosing between 360, PS3, and putting $300-$400's in the bank.

well the SINGLE thing my step dad told me not to do was take a pic of the power supply, the chords stiking out are for testing, im not guna give a specific size but.... its not small... and ya ONCE agin i probably shoulda THOUGH about that kinda stuff before posting so U GUYS who quoted me can u take the URL to the PICTURES out of your post thnaks..

and Idk i think this is what the NOrmal xbox wil look like i kno u can get facplates maybe thats why it was silver..?

Elmojesus wrote:

ya thanks i only care about the 2 pics with his names on it, anubis1010 is the only one yet to deleate. u cant deleate on image shack so i sent a deleation request. not really a big deal though i didnt say anything calssifided, but u can never be to caucious. if anyone has any more questions ill be glad to answer though idk to much about it though

BTW anyone have any detailed information on the new nintendo system (revolution?) i think its called. any kno if itl even beabble to COMPETE with the 360 and the ps3 or is it guna get blown away?

Elmojesus wrote:
sorry.. i only had it for 1 night about a week ago. i didnt take any more pics just a few. i dont rember to much about the dashboard al i really rember is the streaming music from u computer thing. and in live i think there was thing for freinds and stuff and u can create ur own profile i think. and then in arcade there were soem cheesy arcade games, i wasnt aloud to copy anything to the HD, but in my pik its the thing on the top and its detactchable, thers also a tab called system in xbox dashboard with a hole bunch of system settings, i cant rember what they were they wernt liek grpahics settings or anything though. uhhh i rember it got 3000+ frames on dolphin witch was pretty cool. OH OH OH and thers a loading screen, and theres Xbox.defualt or seomthing like that cus its compatible with old xbox games (obviusly) but its like a system in a system u load it from the xbox xcreen and then instead of the xbox 360 logo poping up it liek goes blak and changes to the old xbox logo. and maybe it was just hopefull wishing but the grpahics in halo 2 SEEMED better to me, idk if they actually were cus maybe i was imagining things, but to me they looked better(not extremly) better geomatry, more smooth, stuff like that

ya i dont lOOk 10 ill take 14 MAYBE, just cus its a picture.... if u saw me i look my age, im 5,11 its kinda hard to look 10. the controller feels nice one of the tihngs i hated about the xbox the old one was the HUGE controllers. even though they eventualy made the smaller ones. the contollers perfect size. and there completly wirless its intergrated into the xbox360 im sure u kno that though. heres the busines card pics. i even got his security card thing. the pics are really blury sorry and below his Name it says Regulatory Compliance Manager aka foriegn tester guy.

kk just saw the new posts, u guys post fast. ya its Not partiularly heavy, theres alot of starange colored lights in it liek blue and amber, and i SWERE theres a button on the front that when u push it, all that happens is green lights light up around the power button. im SURE the button does something but i couldnt get it to do anything and just incase ur wondering the little thing on the floor next to the tv in the last pictures is the wirless network bridge for xbox live , and its the ONLY one you can use for the xbox, my step dad said there are preloaded drivers for it on the xbox so u cant use a differnt one. and im pretty sure that means its guna REALY expensive too.

Elmojesus wrote:
huh im 16, im not mexican i said my stepdad was taking it to mexico for testing thats why hes the "foreign tester guy" and he just let me play with it the night before his trip and ya I know its the truth but ill take a pic of his card if u want. but i dont understand why its that hard to beleive... they had people playing them at e3 and if somone woulda took a pic im sure u guys would be doing the same thing.. God imean i expected some people not to beleive me, but all the spelling,grammer, age,american, bsing,etc.. cracks are kinda ANOYING. i could sit here and edit all this , and i can stop saying things like FORGEIN TESTER GUY, if i were to go ask him what its called but im here to talk about the xbox. honestly... u guys are the worst ur SO anoying .. are ur all european or seomthing GOD. HA. ok well the busines card thing will take a while cus i gotta go get the camera and ask for a busines card and hes probably gonna wonder what the heck im doing. by the way his name is TIM CALLAND, ok that will be the NAME on the CARD.

WOW god u guys are like little pirhannas , i woldnt lie about seomthing liek this becuase .. thatd be stupid. ya im american.. let me guess ur not. and no he tests it hes and eleictrical engineer he just got the job here i just moved to seattle. he is MY STEP dad. he does the crap(oh look i said it agin) with the plugs and the xbox makes sure that they dont explode( i dont mean that literally, u get my point i think...). here ill host the pics and give u some links. oh and yes FORIEGN tester guy IDK what its called hes uesto work at UL.. look on the bottom of things elctronic itl say UL on them, they like make sure things dont explode and what not and that they dont harm people and he works for xbox now doing the same thing. if u really want agin ill go take a PIC of his busines card

ya I just became a member, my step dad works here in seattle for xbox hes the forgein tester guy. He had a trip to mexico to test the new xbox so he had to bring it home and he let me play it. There arnt any xbox360 games yet i guess so all i got to play was halo 2. but all the test stuff was on there like dolphin and light shadow stuff, Oh and the XBOX dashboard . I uesto hATE xbox purley a PS fan. but WOW new xbox has some COol stuff. First i tried dolphin witch doesnt have liek GOOD grapics or anything its just a frame test and the xbox was geting 3000+ frames witch was pretty stuinning for me. and the Xbox dashboard is amazing im not aloud to tell everything about it but WOW theres soo much crap on the xbox and some of it is sooO miscelanius. theres xbox arcade were u can Dl like arcade games and crap and u can stream music from ur PC to ur xbox and tons and tons and tons of other crap. I just thought id post about it, ps3 is definatly guna have some compitition. IM SURE all of u have probably read stuff like this on sites but OH one more thing im not supposed tell this, but the power supply conecter thing for the xbox, lets just say its not COMPACT, witch might be why u havnt seen it in any pics. thats all for now post some feedback

I'm not sure how much, if any, time you've spent out on your own as a self-supporting adult, but you'll find that the world does not make considerations for fair. People who think it does, will, or should are in for a very rude awakening.

.......I'm 26 What's up with your attitude? I simply stated that the kid probablly took it without his permission and pretty much stole it. To hold him responsible for that would be like my car getting stolen and them blaiming me when someone uses the car in a hit and run. I understand NDA's, but neither of use know the details in this.


Calm down with the "young whipper snapper" attitude.
